Official 2011 FA Frenzy Thread

The Jets may not have the money they thought they did.

They were about about 10 million under the cap, but that didn't include their signing of Santonio Holmes, which was 10 million/yr alone.

And if he came to Texas he'd save the State Income Tax he'd pay in New York.

Im willing to bet he is just using the Cowboys to get more money from the Jets.

I doubt it. For some reason or another it seems like EVERY player just about wishes they could play for the Dallas Cowboys at some point in their career I've noticed.


Matt Moore just signed a 2 year deal with Miami worth $5 Million. The Dolphins owner declared the "Orton" deal, dead.

Update, 11:20 a.m. ET: Foxsports' Adam Caplan tweets: "To add fuel to the fire on Asomugha, player source said Dallas, not NYJ, #1 on his list. Problem is Dallas needs to clear up cap space."

[Silverback]

Nnamdi Asomugha, cornerback, 2010 team: Oakland Raiders.

The latest: NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi reported Friday that Asomugha, the top free agency prize of the 2011 class, has the Cowboys and New York Jets “battling” for his services. ESPN’s Adam Schefter has said that there's an “80% chance” he ends up in New York.

Cullen Jenkins, defensive end, 2010 team: Green Bay Packers.

The latest: As of Thursday morning, multiple reports had Jenkins, arguably the top defensive lineman available, getting the most interest from the Cowboys and Washington Redskins. However, the Redskins signed Stephen Bowen Thursday and have reportedly dropped out of consideration. The Denver Broncos have also shown interest.

Michael Huff, safety, 2010 team: Oakland Raiders.

The latest: Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Wednesday that safety was “obviously” one of the Cowboys’ top priorities “and it's obviously something we’re working on.” There haven’t been many reports in the last few days regarding Huff, a player many believe would be a great fit with the Cowboys. The former Texas Longhorn could be in for quite a payday considering that the Houston Texans just inked safety Danieal Manning to a 4-year $20 million deal.

Abram Elam, safety, 2010 team: Cleveland Browns.

The latest: With Gerald Sensabaugh also a free agent and Alan Ball likely moving back to cornerback, the Cowboys could add two safeties. Elam was a reserve with the Cowboys in 2006 before becoming a starter with the Browns. He has worked with Rob Ryan, something that has some beliving he is a lock to end up in Dallas.

^^^That is news to me. I thought we were out of this horse race.

Nope. The Boys are very much in it apparently but they'd have to release Newman which I doubt y'all care.


Just read the end of Matts post, lol my bad.

Asomugha will choose between Jets, Cowboys
NFL.com Staff

Prized free-agent cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha will choose between signing with the New York Jets and Dallas Cowboys, NFL Network insider Michael Lombardi reported Friday.

The New York Jets have been consistently linked to Asomugha, while the Dallas Cowboys are making a late push to add him to their secondary.

The Cowboys would have to release cornerback Terence Newman in order to fit Asomugha under their salary cap, Lombardi reported.

Is Hernandez going to be forced to change #s?

[mstng86]

Ochocinco on the Pats is fucking huge.

Yup.

It should be interesting to see the Jets vs Pats games if the Jets do get Asomugha and still have Revis.

I bet the Jets sign Asomugha, they have the cap room
